Hey, it's Amy

After nearly six years supporting UX practitioners with job search strategy and career transitions, I'm shifting my focus to what's always felt most meaningful—partnering with experienced professionals who are asking what comes next when their work no longer fits who they are. 

 

An anthropologist by training, with 15 years of experience living and studying the relationship between individuals and the organizations they work for, I help people work through existential career questions so they can see their options clearly and land on a decision they can stand behind.

My doors officially open on September 1st, 2026. If you could use some support before then, feel free to get in touch.

In the meantime, you can keep up with my goings-on over at my monthly newsletter, The Jawbreaker. This is where I think out loud about the messy and deeply human side of knowledge work. Straight from my brain to your inbox, no sketchy algorithms involved.

Birthed from the beaches of Florida in  1986,
I navigate the waters of bullshit well.
I get it. I worked for a decade in the ever-evolving, Minotaur-laden maze of user experience, technology, & business. I've been where you've been.
A whirlwind of life experiences and a roller coaster career journey  provide me with deep expertise in the individual and collective human experiment. My coaching is informed by practices and perspectives from the social sciences, human-centered design, personal growth, psychology, systems thinking, intersectionality, and anti-capitalism.
